		stringent Medicare price controls on hospitals and physicians.
		state regulation of health insurance premiums.
		a severe recession, greater number of uninsured people, and fewer employees with employer-paid health insurance.

2. If everyone agrees that additional lives could be saved if more infants were admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), then:

		NICUs should be given the highest priority for additional funding to decrease neonatal infant mortality rates.
		NICU funding should be the same as funding for other approaches to reduce neonatal infant mortality rates.
		NICU funding should be based on which programs achieve the largest decrease in neonatal infant mortality.
		NICU funding should be based on which program has the lowest cost per life saved.

3. Which health associations would be more likely to oppose having Medicare reimburse nurse anesthetists?

		An association representing rural hospitals
		An association representing health insurers

Answer 1

1.The introduction of ACA has improved the number of people with insurance

Ans:a severe recession, a greater number of uninsured people, and fewer employees with employers based paid insurance

2.Additional funding can increase the expenditure tremendously and hamper the quality of care

The funding rate cannot be in the same probability rate to reduce the infant mortality rate because it may need more to provide adequate supplies and services

In simple it should be based on assessing the lowest expenditure done to save a life than other measurement

Ans:NICU funding should be based on which program has the lowest cost per life saved

3.The nurse anesthetists contribute nearly 65% in the rural hospitals

They are needed in a midwives association to handle smooth delivery of baby.

The problem existed with the reimbursement of how they has to be reimbursed and it's way

Ans:an association representing health insurers
